I wasn't impressed. I flew the model available that was closest to one I have and I'd say it was pretty realistic handling, but sure didn't look "photoreal".
The owner confided that he wasn't exactly overjoyed with it's impact. And he's a flyer and said it didn't exactly impress him.
But you know what...... I think we're all spoiled a bit. It looked about as good as G3 had looked on that monitor. And darned if they both don't look real enough that with a little help from our own imagination, after awhile, we THINK they're real. Guess that's good enough.
When you say you aren't that impressed, what are you not impressed with? You say it had pretty realistic handling - that sounds like you are talking about how the planes fly, the physics. But then you go on to say they don't look "photoreal" - now you are talking about the graphics.
I would sure like some comments from someone who is familar with other flight simulators, and who is at least an intermediate level 3D pilot. For myself, all I care about is how realistic the physics are, I don't care about the graphics.
Thanks
